Returner
This movie wants to be too many things, and in the end is lesser for it.
What it wants to be is a Independence Day/Matrix/Transformers/Blade Runner/Terminator/Gangster Film. It's the story of Millie, who comes back through time to stop an alien invasion.
There are some interesting effects scenes of the future and the aliens, and a bit of the bullet time, but these are really just window dressing on a yakuza revenge story.
It looks nice, but there's just not much there underneath. That and the piano pieces in the score sound a bit too much like they were lifted from American Beauty.
Worth a rental, but not much more.
